Kim Noble is an artist with a difference – twenty of them, in fact. After suffering childhood abuse, Kim's mind split into twenty distinct personalities to cope with the trauma. Over a dozen personalities are painters, including Judy the bulimic teenager, a gay man named Ken, and a mother called Patricia.

While Kim was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID) and raising her daughter Aimee, she and her various personalities began painting as a way of understanding their own complex mind.

Grayson Perry has been cross-dressing since he was a child, using it to step into a fantasy world where he felt safer. He describes himself as a transvestite and for him cross-dressing has an exciting, sexual aspect but he has no desire to become a female, nor to dress as a woman full-time.

San Agustín Necropolis

The largest collection of religious monuments and megalithic sculptures in South America can be found at the San Agustín Archaeological Park. This park is located in the municipalities of San Agustín and Isnos, in the department of Huila, Colombia. This UNESCO World Heritage Site consists of San Agustín, Alto de los Ídolos (The High Idols) and Alto de Las Piedras (the High Stones). The site is perhaps best known for its impressive stone statues, numbering 600 at present.

The warriors almost all have the characteristic "double I" figure. The "double I" or alter egois the representation of the person and his mind in the form of an animal figure on his back. In some depictions, however, the alter ego is presented only schematically, sometimes even such that the representation of the alter ego is no longer there, although in the figure the block of stone has been retained where the alter ego should have been sculpted. In other images of warriors, the alter ego disappears altogether. The images that possess the alter ego are often part of the architecture, they serve as anthropomorphic columns for the tombs.

Babits Mihály - Nightmare

The 1966 novel 'A gólyakalifa' (stork caliph) by Mihály Babits, is one of my most confusing and favorite reading. The protagonist, Elemer, falls asleep and wakes up in another life every night. Throughout the years he becomes unsure which life is real, and which one is a dream.
